Programmer : Mashup Programmer : Using the Mashup API : Configuring Hits Enrichment
 
Configuring Hits Enrichment
Nesting feeds in one another gives you the possibility of enriching the hits of a query with other sources to bring related content to the user. This can be achieved because nested feeds can use parent metas.
In the following use case, our application starts by retrieving information about TV series using a CloudView Search feed. It then tries to enrich each hit with images retrieved by a Google Search feed using the TV series title.

The following XML Configuration represents how the hit enrichment presented above is coded.
